Newborn Sponge Bath - Using Baby Bath Sponge Properly

If you are new at newborns and want to prepare baby bath sponge for your child you will find many options available on the internet. You can find baby bath sponge sets in blue and pink, as well as many other color schemes. You should know that your baby's skin is very sensitive and is easily irritated when in contact with certain materials. This means that you have to be very careful about what materials you use to prepare baby bath sponges.

First you will need to prepare the items that you will use for your newborn sponge bath: baby bath sponge, 2 washcloths, a few diapers, a baby soap, a soft dry towel or baby blanket, a cup or bowl with cold water, soap, cream, and baby oil. The soap that you are using should be mild. A lot of the soaps that are out there for newborns can cause irritations in your baby's skin, especially if they contain perfumed ingredients. So be careful when selecting the soap for your baby's diaper area.

Next you will need to prepare the basin that you will use for your newborn bath sponge. It is best to use a small porcelain basin that has an attached lid for easy cleaning. You also want to have something on the bottom of the sink that will catch any spills so that your sink does not dry out. Most basins have a removable rack attached to them and this is where you will put your newborn diaper bag before putting it in the water. Finally, you will want to place your sponge, diaper bags and soap into the basin so that everything stays clean.
